LESSONS AND VOICES FROM 11 YEARS OF MINISTRY

I remember my Grandpa said to my Dad, “I don’t understand what Temi is doing. Is he opening a law office or what is he trying to do?” Grandpa did not understand me yet 4 months later, he sent me a huge cash gift that was used to renovate the venue we got for church. It was such a miracle […]

BUILD VALUES BEFORE OPPORTUNITIES 

A dear brother who is also a minister of the gospel shared an experience that blessed my life:  He had to counsel a couple who had infidelity issues. They travelled to his base to see him. When the session was over, the husband brought out a seed. He wanted to give it to his pastor. The pastor refused the seed. […]

“DADDY, YOU TAUGHT US…”

Danielle walked into my room with an activity book in her hands. She said, “Daddy, I am sorry. I accidentally tore my book while I was drawing on it”. I told her, “Girl, that’s fine. Be careful next time”.  The next thing she said was what shook me to my bones, “Daddy, you taught us that when we do not […]

HOW TO KILL A VISION BEFORE IT TAKES OFF

As I sat with another young pastor, I asked him, “Kindly describe what you feel about ministry in one word”. He took a deep sigh and said, “Frustrating”. He had “invested” so much in buying expensive gadgets. His handbills are top-grade. They were lovely to behold but he did not ask himself whether it was sustainable and what was the […]

“I DON’T KNOW BUT JESUS KNOWS”

My Mum once shared a story: When I was still a toddler, my brother was pushing me around in a baby pram. An accident happened. The baby pram stumbled. I rolled out. I fell. I shrieked and went quiet. She was in shock. She carried me to the bathroom and poured water on me. I jerked to life. She administered […]

YOU LOVE IT BUT IS THAT EXACTLY WHAT IS INSTRUCTED?

Irewamiri was working in the kitchen. I stepped in and found a small pot on the fire. The heat already dried the pot. I assumed she wanted to boil something. Since I was about to carry a kettle of hot water, it struck me that I could pour some into the pot. I only wanted to be of help.  But […]

GIFTS ALONE CAN NOT DO IT

I came into ministry with a lot of energy. I felt I was so gifted that it would be no big deal preaching. At least, I am gifted with words. I felt my words would be so sweet that it would not take long for men to be drawn toward the work.  Even though I cried while packing my wig […]

PHOTOGRAPHERS AND PARTY PICTURES

There are many times that I have attended functions and I had to tell commercial photographers not to bother taking pictures. Despite all the caution, there will still be some who took my pictures without asking. They begin to look for me after the event to collect and pay for pictures that I did not give my nod to. Sometimes, […]

WEIGHTY QUESTIONS – “What are you doing here?”

I came out one morning and I saw some of my sons and daughters waiting for me right at my door. The first question I asked was “What are you doing here?” Why did I ask that? I did not expect to see them that day at all. They came to pull a surprise on me. You can surprise a […]
